**Notes** October 4: The Soviet Union launches Sputnik 1 into earth orbit. The first man-made satellite passes overhead, making one revolution every 90 minutes

April 12: Vostok 1 carries Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin into orbit; he is the first human in space

January 31: Explorer 1, the first American satellite, enters orbit around Earth

June 6: A Russian, Valentina Tereshkova, becomes the first woman in space

March 18: Voskhod 2 carries Pavel Belyayev and Alexei Leonov into orbit. Leonov leaves the spacecraft on the first "spacewalk."

March 23: Gus Grissom and John Young pilot the first two-man Gemini spacecraft, Gemini 3, named the //Molly Brown// in recognition of Grissom's Mercury splashdown.

The Gemini program will solve many of the problems that must be overcome for a lunar landing mission. June 3-7: On Gemini 4, a particularly strong astronaut, Edward White II, exits his vehicle and performs the first American space walk. The ease with which he maneuvers will not be easily replicated by subsequent astronauts who attempt to perform mechanical tasks on space walks.

December 4-18: American astronauts Frank Borman and Jim Lovell fly Gemini 7 for fourteen days, setting an endurance record that will remain unbroken until 1970.

December 15-16: Wally Schirra and Thomas Stafford fly Gemini 6 within a few feet of Borman and Lovell in Gemini 7, for the first true rendezvous in space.
